Hardback. Condición: Good. Bataan. North Africa. Sicily. Omaha Beach. The Ardennes. West Point 41: The Class That Went to War and Shaped America is an uplifting story of ordinary young men in extraordinary times, in extraordinary places, who graduated directly into the teeth of battle and displayed unwavering leadership, honor, duty, and determination. From Sandy Nininger, awarded the first Medal of Honor of World War I for his actions leading Philippine Scouts in the early days of the war, to Charlie Fletcher, Ed Rowny, Paul Skowronek, Herb Stern, and dozens of others who quickly found themselves leading companies, battalions, and regiments, these young officers struggled with the fog and terror of war and early command. In a postwar era of unprecedented military latitude, they helped shape defense strategy, led development of America's rocket programs, and created the theory and practice of helicopter airmobile combat that came to dominate in Vietnam. In Europe, Asia, and with the Soviets, 41ers practiced diplomacy and tradecraft as architects of American Cold War policy. All the while, they clung tightly to tenets of duty and moral courage inculcated at West Point: often tested, but holding firm to the bonds that make up the Long Gray Line.…

Clean, unmarked pages. *Autographed by author.* "Lt. Gen. Edward L. Rowny was a hardline arms control adviser to five American presidents. Gen. Rowny graduated from West Point. He commanded battalions in Italy during World War II and participated in the Korean War. He later championed arming helicopters for battle, creating an airborne cavalry that he helped implement in Vietnam for counterinsurgency operations. In the late 1940s Gen. Rowny began studying the Russian language and Soviet negotiating techniques at Yale University. This positioned him to play a meaningful role in U.S. nuclear policymaking when he took on quasi-diplomatic positions with NATO during the Cold War. In 1971 he was appointed the US representative to Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) and held this post under three presidents: Nixon, Ford and Carter. After the election of President Reagan, General Rowny was appointed to the rank of Ambassador as the President's chief negotiator on Strategic Nuclear Arms (START). During his second term, President Reagan appointed Rowny his Special Advisor on Arms Control. He was awarded the Presidential Citizen Medal.". Signed.…
